Well, the flowers were the easy bit, they were all the same, and definitely got quicker to do.

Normally, I'm a word person, I'd much rather have instructions written out to follow. This time however, the instructions were set out very clearly, so,by a bit of reading, and a lot more of looking at the diagram, I've finally cracked the joining bit. It took me until the fourth row to work out the easiest route to take. After that, joining the flowers into rows, and then the rows to each other became much easier to do.

From here, there are another five rows to add, each one getting longer. I'm being good and sewing in the ends after each row, which is just as well, they take longer to do than the joining!

I must say, I'm delighted with the way this is going. I never, ever thought I'd ever manage to do something like this. Mind you, it's not finished yet, so we'll see how it all turns out in the end.

I have had a lifelong love of crafts which started with being taught how to knit at a very young age. It didn't take long to realise that great joy and satisfaction came from making things. Even now, I get a thrill seeing something that started just as an idea, becoming a finished product, whether I make it, or teach someone else how to make it. ​
